Team, I’ll be frank with you:

My team tells me we’re falling behind our fundraising goal for the month, and we need your help to get back on track.

Can you split just $5 today between my campaign and Senator Jeff Merkley's Blue Senate Candidate Fund? It may not sound like much, but if everyone reading this email gave just $5 today, we’d close our fundraising gap in no time.

When you pitch in today, you're helping my team:

• Get ready for whatever dark-money attack ads come our way. If Republicans flip this seat, there’s no path to a Democratic Senate majority, which means I need to be prepared to be a top GOP target next year.
• Figure out what kind of resources we have and what we’ll need moving forward – we’re talking about how many field organizers we can hire and when we can go on air with our ads.
• Prove the grassroots enthusiasm behind our campaign – after ANOTHER far-right Republican jumped into the race to flip this Senate seat, it’s more important than ever that I prove the strength of this grassroots campaign when we release our fundraising numbers after our December filing deadline.

So I’m asking you personally: will you chip in $5 – split between my campaign and Sen. Merkley's Candidate Fund – to get us back on track before the month ends?

Thank you,
Mark Warner
